tional scene occurred in the criminal court
Friday. All week Judge Ayres has been
bearing testimony upon petition that he re-
move w. r. A. Bernhamer from his trust as
guardian Of the Miller children. Bernhamer
is a prominent Democratic politician. The
evidences has reflected very seriously upon the
guardians morality. It was shown that he
endeavored to induce the sister of his ward to
elope with him, and that he took the children
to house of questionable reputation. There
was considerable cumulative testimony, and
Bcrnhamer denied the statements of the wit
nssses. Friday afternoon he took the stand
in his own behalf and was subjected to a
vigorous cross-sxamination by John s. Dun
can. attorney for the petitioners. He became
very much excited under the questioning OF
and finally tainted, falling from his
chair, and creating the most intense excite
mont in..tbe courtroom. It was some time
before he recovered consciousness, and when
he did he was 30 weak that, Judge Ayres felt
roupslled TO postpone tie sfurthar hearihg asl

e. -s.r the Jurors ----.. !s3
KANSAS CRY, Mo-, Sept 10. Judge
Whites charge to the jury in the case Of
John Snyder, charged with attempting to
ravish Ruth ROLAND, aged Z years, was
strongly in favor Of conviction. After being
out about five minutes the jury returned a
verdict of guilty, and fixed the punishment at
six months in the county Jail. The clerk had
scarcely finished reading the verdict when.
Judge White, frowning angrily, thumped
violently on the desk and exclaimed: " Mr..
Clerk read that verdict againT The verdict
being read, the judge inquired: $50 say yon
all, gentlemen of the jury?" The answer was
in the affirmative, and the judge said: "
-" Gentlemen, I shall take the liberty to set
your verdict aside. IL You had found the
defendant not guilty, should have nothing
to say, but when you find him guilty and
assess his punishment at six months you per-
petrate an outrage IL yon think men may
take female children from the cradle for the
purpose gratifying their lustful desires and
then escape upon an imprisonment of six
months, you are disgrace to the ciyilizatiou
Of the day You sxiH aIl now b discharged

BALTIMORE, Sept. 1.-The Baltimore and Ohio
Express to-day passed into the hands OF the United
states Express Company, and its employees were
notified OF the change. There will for the present
at least, be no changes in the employees and re
ports Will be made TO the general manager as
heretofore. Speaking or the sale, Mr.. Jonn h.
Cowan, counsel Tor the Baltimore and Ohio CON-
pany, said: "lhe statement that the Baltimore
and Ohio express has been sold TO the United
States Express Company Is not correct. There has
been simply contract entered into between the
Two companies by which the United States ex-
press Is TO run the Baltimore and Ohio for thirty
years, Tor which the former is TO pay the latter
company certain percentage OF the earnings "
he declined 10 say what the percentage Will be.

soon pass into other hands, IL the negotiation Is
not already concluded. The impression also pre-
walls that Mr.. Garrett Is anxious TO dispose or the
ROAD, ana the announcement OF its sale at any
time Will create no surprise here.
Vice President Spencer, In answer to Inquiries on
the subject to-day, confirmed the disposal OF the
plant or the Baltimore and Ohio Express COMPANY
and OF the execution OIL contract between the
railroad company and the United States Express
Company for a period OF thirty years but declined
10 give any further particulars He however
regarded the arrangement as quite advantageous
t0 the interests both OF the railroad company and
Mr.. Spencer stated that there was no truth
whatever In the statements as to negotiations
Win London bankers Tor the control OF the CON-
pany, or that the house OF Robert Garrett & Sons
was selling or intending TO sell its holdings and
he knew OF no such Intentions on the part OF any
other large holders. He treated as absurd the
statement that the Pennsylvania Railroad had ad.
Vanced or Was advancing, any money TO the Balti.
